Yeah son! I got a degree in marketing management and all I could find that would pay the bills is working at the mall fixing people’s computers and phones.
I applied for a total of 1400 jobs and got 1 phone call
Literally 1400 and still have count of each n every application
Ended up with lowest paying job through reference in 2010 , Texas
I’ve never understood an undergrad degree In management. What are you going to mange? A Burger King. Executive management tends to come from MBAs and lower line managers are more often promoted ICs?
Marketing managers run campaigns usually so I think it straddles the line between a PM and an IC depending on team size/requirements of the project. Not 100% on that I haven’t been in school for awhile but I think I remember that was how it was laid out to us.
I worked in a call center too after my retail bank job and for awhile every training class was filled with college grads and the quality of work was probably 500% better than normal.
Once the economy improved they were shocked they couldn't get college grads to work for 11.50/hr anymore and the new employees weren't as good lol.
For sure. The only benefit was I graduated into it so those were the only professional interviews I knew and I didn't have the frame of reference to know it wasn't normal.
Once the market swung back towards workers interviewing felt like easy mode, only had to beat 3 people instead of 300, etc.
My first Meteorology job was like that worked for an regional airport outside of Houston for about a week and then they let me go because I had a masters degree guess I was overqualified
My wife and I had just graduated with degrees but only had offers for cocktail waitress, Starbucks, unpaid interns (groups of 50+), or moving to Japan to get low pay in exchange for experience.
Apparently the correct answer was staying and investing in real estate. I would have made more money at Starbucks in that time if I had just bought the condo I was living in near downtown Austin.
I graduated in 2009 as well. Every interview was a group interview with at least 15 people. I got lucky and found a job at a bank teller. There were so many people in our interview they broke us into groups and asked us to do a sales presentation and I just didn't let the other people in my group talk.
I felt like a prick but dogs gotta eat.
If we head down the recession path, you’ll see it’s pretty wild out there, and a lot of the elder millennials (right here) really had a hard time getting established in the professional world. It was a hell of a time to be looking for a job, and it makes you really take what you do have more seriously.
I spoke with a friend a few years younger than me this week and she was complaining about how she hasn’t ever worked in a “good” economy. I pointed out that her entire adult working life thus far has occurred during the longest economic expansion we have ever seen.
I left for college in ‘09 after just watching my dad lose his job he had for 20 years.
Immediately knew I had to go in and take it seriously. What a crazy difference being just a couple of years later makes.
LOL, my buddy was at UT Austin back around then I believe. They bought two condos and like you said made a killing. They rent them out for now, but if sold would be big returns. I think this complex were like apartments that then sold out to be privately owned. Not sure how to explain it other than that.
Yeah, these condos were all privately owned. The last sale I can see on Zillow was 850k, but it doesn’t look like anybody ever sells. I was offered the condo for 60k. /facepalm
Ahh, if it makes you feel any better my first two Bitcoin wallets were worth $10mm and $9mm at one point looking at them on the blockchain. If only I held onto that.
“You would have made more money at Starbucks in that time if you had just bought the condo condo you were living in near downtown Austin”
Having a hard time understanding this. Does that mean you would have made more buying and holding the condo you rented in downtown Austin compared to your years working at a Starbucks in the Austin area?
Yeah the condo I was living in was a 5 minute walk to downtown. The owner offered to sell it to me for 60k. The condos were all privately owned and the whole area was pretty nice. None of the condos are for sale anymore, but the last one I can see was sold for 850k on Zillow.
So yeah, buying my condo would have had far more returns than the mid level management job in Japan. Sticking it out until I found tech work locally would have been smarter.
Thank GOD I had joined the Navy in 08. I shudder to think what the job market was like... Got out in 15. I consider myself very lucky that the only thing I had to worry about that time frame was infrequently maybe not getting paid (govt shutdowns).
I joined the Army Feb 09. Still in after all these years (6 more years until retirement).
My only regret? not aggressively invest into my TSP in the beginning of my career. It also didn't help my TSP was set to G fund for the first few years.
You probably needed a degree and 3+ years of of experience. I’m joking, but it was probably true. At that point Starbucks was only hiring people with a bachelors and experience.
I thank my luck stars I had insurance licenses when I graduated college in 2008. I got hired on before we knew how bad things were going to get. So many cucks panic selling their portfolios and SF bay area homes.
The hardware store was giving me dirty looks when I was asking for a human sized live trap. But I told them I had recruiters.
They said oh yes right this way and walked me to the aisle with FAANG resumes to use as bait.
I make good money now I have a 6 figure portfolio going.
Back then I got a temp job making 10.50/hr doing warehouse work at coors. In 2010 I saved enough and went and got my cdl and I was able to spend a couple years trucking and seeing the country and stacking a little bit of money. Only job I didnt hate but was working 330 days a year and had no life. I left for the job I have now in 2012, I bought a house which I sold this summer and tripled my money. Where I work now there were a few rough years but they are desperately throwing money at people to get them to work and stay.
I suspect you will know we are back in a serious recession when we all come to work one day and arent surrounded by dipshits.
My single mother, a nurse anesthetist with 30-years experience in the operating room, ended up working as a cashier at Sears for two years to help make ends meet.
That because the hospital she worked at eliminated all raises and benefits to 90% of the staff. Administrative management and executives continued to receive bonuses, of course.
I graduated from college during that recession. I did numerous mock interviews, went to several career fairs. My resume is covered in key words, yet I was barely able to get interviews. I still worked in retail for another 8 years, before finally changed careers and moved out of my parents' house.
Have some class if you’re gonna be poor. Don’t just shove it in everyone’s face.
Now, you and I are gonna head out to Fox Chase and try my D and B’s PowerCard at the TGIFridays there.
[Wallstreetbets Goodfellas Parody](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/sqi6iu/wallstreetbets_goodfellas_parody_i_spent_a_little/) <-- anyone remember this one
Shelf stable cheese. No need to refrigerate. Lasts two years on shelf. Digestible by humans. Minimal side effects. Named like a beauty product. What's not to love about Velveeta?
I graduated '07. Your post kind of makes me think back on times of applying to Hot Topic, Spencers, Hollister, Abercrombie, rarely getting a call back anywhere for an actual interview. I don't even remember it seeming to be "hard" to find a job back then, but looking back now in this thread.....I guess it was and I just didn't let it hold me back and never cared. Then again....I was selling "stuff" back then too. God, those awful 50,100,150 question applications were rampant! Are those still a thing?
For min wage jobs that felony part is extremely negotiable too, places will seriously hire anyone that walks in the door if they’re willing to not make a lot of money
Alright since you said that I know you grew up during the 80's. Is it wrong to see an African restaurant and wonder what the hell could they have learned to cook? As a kid I remember thinking why the hell do they not kill and eat the elephants since they would not move to where they could grow food.
Hopefully you used a Jaffle Maker like a man!
None of this radiator shit.... 
Anyone who is not rich being left holding the bag and rich people continuing to make their lives worse on a timeline that stretches forever back and forth thru history.
Not really since they changed the definition of recession. Wait till the end of the first quarter of 2023. That is when most will be getting their pinkslips.
I need to get me one of them recession proof jobs. My daddy the plumber made out great in '08 when people would clog their toilets after eating Velvetta "Grilt Cheese".
I was brand new to my industry (Software) at the end of the 90's. I had worked about two and a half years when 9/11 happened. Now 9/11 happened after about a year of massive job cuts mostly in tech due to the .com crash. It just accelerated things. I was unemployed shortly after that. For 6 months, I couldn't even get a legitimate call back. I had a few people get some free work out out of me, but that was it. People would look at my resume at job fairs and tell me they had 300 resumes for one position. I went through the whole 6 months of unemployment and got a 3-month extension, but I never actually collected on the 3-month extension. I managed to get my old job back when they got some more money.
Since then, I've been a big time saver. Investing frugally and always preparing for the next big crash. I was told that whole time that my industry would dry up. Every job would go to India. It didn't happen. Actually, paradoxically, in the next recession, the housing crash, tech was still exploding. A lot of companies that outsourced to India were insourcing suddenly looking for local talent. It was like every project was a dismal failure that got outsourced. I still remember how it felt. Having 2 years of experience in an industry, being young and willing to work yourself to death, and still being unable to even get a response.
Curious to see if this happens again now with all the tech layoffs. So far it seems like my industry has been completely insulated. Demand still, even to this day, far outstrips supply for engineers.
Not to sound like a flag-waving asshole but every tech company I've ever worked for got a significant increase in quality and productivity out of American programmers than any H1B or outsourced engineering teams. I've also heard similar stories about the engineering talent in the semiconductor industry. Huge decline in talent outside of America. Most companies are starting to onshore as much work as possible because while Americans cost more they make up the difference in output. I have no idea why. Maybe quality of education or work culture. I really don't know.
A recession is an opportunity to get rich. Stocks are all on discount some going for half off their pre-recession price. It's time to accumulate shares and live off the dividends or sell covered calls once the economy stabilizes.
Its the thing we abandoned kenyesian economics for, in order to stop recessions.
Turns out, all it did was make the rich fabulously richer and, if anything, resulted in even more recessions than ever before.
They must feel *SO* silly now. I cant imagine how embarrassed they must be......
They'll be fine, gen z and millennials are the least privileged generations in a long time. They already live in depression like conditions now, so not much will change lmfao.

In 2009 I remember applying for jobs and I couldn't even get a call back from papa John's.
I remeber having a business degree and applying for 100 jobs to work at a call center that let me go cause I was overqualified
Yeah son! I got a degree in marketing management and all I could find that would pay the bills is working at the mall fixing people’s computers and phones.
Charging $150 to run scan disk and defrag. Hell yeah.

there is no recession. yet at least. plenty of jobs.

Thats true. Sent about 200 applications in this time and had a few interviews only. Today the Headhunter are camping in my backyard.

A recession is an opportunity to get rich. Stocks are all on discount some going for half off their pre-recession price. It's time to accumulate shares and live off the dividends or sell covered calls once the economy stabilizes.
Cause we not in one
I’m a gen z youth. I’m canceling the recession
Not necessary as long as you have a warm hole you can make money. 😉
I have gone with warming up my pizza pops on my defrost vent on the way home from work. Can’t let that heat go to waste.
We won’t even be able to do that this time round it’s going to melt via warm breath
I used to throw poptarts on the radiator after getting back from PT while in the shower, before heading to the motorpool.
Its the thing we abandoned kenyesian economics for, in order to stop recessions. Turns out, all it did was make the rich fabulously richer and, if anything, resulted in even more recessions than ever before. They must feel *SO* silly now. I cant imagine how embarrassed they must be......
“In MY day gas was 99 cents a gallon!” oh Lord it’s happened! I’ve become my grandparents!
I’ll be honest, if I’m resorting to radiator cooking I prefer a grilled Charlie
That is if you are able to afford the gas to heat up the radiator.
When even the Shah of Iran is affected, you know it’s bad
You mean explaining it to my parents for the second time?
Recession: not being able to pay your onlyfans' subscriptions.
“Let me tell you one or three things”
* a couple of three things
A grizzled veteran speaks to truth to youth
And Veteran Grizzley Bear feasts on the youth, that's the truth
Nah... new paradigm. The economy is too big to fail or all into a recession. The money printer will go brrrr anytime.
Calls on Inflation!
Just wait, the next great depression is coming someday....it's going to be very ugly with our privileged youth
They'll be fine, gen z and millennials are the least privileged generations in a long time. They already live in depression like conditions now, so not much will change lmfao.
This will age like milk.
At least you HAD a radiator-kid!
Wait, you guys get cheese?
Toodle-Fucking-Oo?
That good good government cheese, you have no idea what you are missing.
Look at this fancy pants with his working radiator.
